Well, it’s the end of the week and time to share some blogs that I’ve read over the past week. It is my joy to share them with you, and I pray that God moves in you as He did in me when I first read them.
- Seth Haines talks about how Preston Yancey [hypothetically] stole his bike. And if a man dwells too long in bitterness, he’ll realize he’s not a very good disciple, because, after all, how many times must I forgive a man? And once a man realizes he’s not a very good disciple? Well, things go downhill pretty fast from there.
- Natalie Trust gives an excellent perspective on The Church is a Whore. If you’ve read the two posts I’ve written on this, you’ll want to read hers too. Seriously. Go read it.
- Hannah Anderson nails it again with her piece on Tribes. And in the irony that is the human experience, those of us speaking most loudly against racism and prejudice are often the first to coalesce into tribes to do it.
- Rebekah Nicewander reminds us that we can only do this Christian life well through the power and grace of God. The more I seek Christ, the more I see my sin. The more I see the depths of my sin, the more I realize the grandeur of the grace of God and my desperate need for Him.
- Addie Zierman tells us about how we can help Syria. Also, the Parable of the Lost Cat. I hold Peace in Syria with the same callous hands that I held that flier of the lost cat. We’ll keep an eye out, I think, but we’ll never see a thing.
And for this week’s (hilarious) Tweet of the Week:
